Conference: The Sixth Symposium on Industrial Ecology for Young Professionals: Turning Research into Action

该补助金部分支持青年专业人员工业生态学研讨会，该研讨会由国际工业生态学学生分会委员会（ISIE-SCB）在CBET环境可持续性计划的NSF职业奖获得者的指导下组织。研讨会的重点是通过政策制定或实施将工业生态学（IE）研究转化为实际成果。本次研讨会的主要目标是为在IE中进行研究的年轻专业人员提供一个机会，利用他们的研究技能来确定和开发将环境工程和可持续发展研究概念转化为可操作项目的方法，参观研讨会现场实施创新IE概念的工业设施，讨论他们新颖的研究想法和经验，并获得建设性的反馈。更广泛的影响：研讨会将提高参与者在研究和赠款写作，口头陈述，开发有效的研究产品，并增加他们的研究的影响力的基本技能。研讨会还将为学生和年轻研究人员提供将他们的研究兴趣与政策相关问题联系起来的技能。此外，该研讨会将提供一个机会，以促进年轻专业人员之间的国际合作的启动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This grant is in partial support of the Symposium on Industrial Ecology for Young Professionals, organized by the International Society for Industrial Ecology Student Chapter Board (ISIE-SCB) under the mentorship of an NSF CAREER Awardee from the CBET Environmental Sustainability program. The symposium focuses on transition of industrial ecology (IE) research into tangible outcomes through policy development or implementation. The main goal of this symposium is to provide an opportunity for young professionals who perform research in IE to use their research skills to identify and develop ways to translate environmental engineering and sustainability research concepts into actionable items, visit industrial facilities in the locale of the symposium site that have implemented innovative IE concepts, discuss their novel research ideas and experiences, and receive constructive feedback. Broader Impacts: The symposium will advance participants' fundamental skills in research and grant writing, oral presentation, developing effective research products, and increasing the impact of their research. The symposium will also provide students and young researchers with the skills to connect their research interests to policy relevant questions. Additionally, the symposium will provide an opportunity to facilitate initiation of international collaborations among young professionals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
